any memory allocation it needs to function.

In commit 7c8ade2121 ("xfs: implement percpu cil space used
calculation"), the XFS committed (log) item list code was converted to
use per-cpu lists and space tracking to reduce cpu contention when
multiple threads are modifying different parts of the filesystem and
hence end up contending on the log structures during transaction commit.
Each CPU tracks its own commit items and space usage, and these do not
have to be merged into the main CIL until either someone wants to push
the CIL items, or we run over a soft threshold and switch to slower (but
more accurate) accounting with atomics.
Unfortunately, the for_each_cpu iteration suffers from the same race
with cpu dying problem that was identified in commit 8b57b11cca
("pcpcntrs: fix dying cpu summation race") -- CPUs are removed from
cpu_online_mask before the CPUHP_XFS_DEAD callback gets called. As a
result, both CIL percpu structure aggregation functions fail to collect
the items and accounted space usage at the correct point in time.
If we're lucky, the items that are collected from the online cpus exceed
the space given to those cpus, and the log immediately shuts down in
xlog_cil_insert_items due to the (apparent) log reservation overrun.
This happens periodically with generic/650, which exercises cpu hotplug
vs. the filesystem code:
smpboot: CPU 3 is now offline
XFS (sda3): ctx ticket reservation ran out. Need to up reservation
XFS (sda3): ticket reservation summary:
XFS (sda3): unit res = 9268 bytes
XFS (sda3): current res = -40 bytes
XFS (sda3): original count = 1
XFS (sda3): remaining count = 1
XFS (sda3): Filesystem has been shut down due to log error (0x2).
Applying the same sort of fix from 8b57b11cca to the CIL code seems
to make the generic/650 problem go away, but I've been told that tglx
was not happy when he saw:
"...the only thing we actually need to care about is that
percpu_counter_sum() iterates dying CPUs. That's trivial to do, and when
there are no CPUs dying, it has no addition overhead except for a
cpumask_or() operation."
The CPU hotplug code is rather complex and difficult to understand and I
don't want to try to understand the cpu hotplug locking well enough to
use cpu_dying mask. Furthermore, there's a performance improvement that
could be had here. Attach a private cpu mask to the CIL structure so
that we can track exactly which cpus have accessed the percpu data at
all. It doesn't matter if the cpu has since gone offline; log item
aggregation will still find the items. Better yet, we skip cpus that
have not recently logged anything.
Worse yet, Ritesh Harjani and Eric Sandeen both reported today that CPU
hot remove racing with an xfs mount can crash if the cpu_dead notifier
tries to access the log but the mount hasn't yet set up the log.

When xlog_sync() rounds off the tail the iclog that is being
flushed, it manually subtracts that space from the grant heads. This
space is actually reserved by the transaction ticket that covers
the xlog_sync() call from xlog_write(), but we don't plumb the
ticket down far enough for it to account for the space consumed in
the current log ticket.
The grant heads are hot, so we really should be accounting this to
the ticket is we can, rather than adding thousands of extra grant
head updates every CIL commit.
Interestingly, this actually indicates a potential log space overrun
can occur when we force the log. By the time that xfs_log_force()
pushes out an active iclog and consumes the roundoff space, the
reservation for that roundoff space has been returned to the grant
heads and is no longer covered by a reservation. In theory the
roundoff added to log force on an already full log could push the
write head past the tail. In practice, the CIL commit that writes to
the log and needs the iclog pushed will have reserved space for
roundoff, so when it releases the ticket there will still be
physical space for the roundoff to be committed to the log, even
though it is no longer reserved. This roundoff won't be enough space
to allow a transaction to be woken if the log is full, so overruns
should not actually occur in practice.
That said, it indicates that we should not release the CIL context
log ticket until after we've released the commit iclog. It also
means that xlog_sync() still needs the direct grant head
manipulation if we don't provide it with a ticket. Log forces are
rare when we are in fast paths running 1.5 million transactions/s
that make the grant heads hot, so let's optimise the hot case and
pass CIL log tickets down to the xlog_sync() code.

Before we split the ordered CIL up into per cpu lists, we need a
mechanism to track the order of the items in the CIL. We need to do
this because there are rules around the order in which related items
must physically appear in the log even inside a single checkpoint
transaction.
An example of this is intents - an intent must appear in the log
before it's intent done record so that log recovery can cancel the
intent correctly. If we have these two records misordered in the
CIL, then they will not be recovered correctly by journal replay.
We also will not be able to move items to the tail of
the CIL list when they are relogged, hence the log items will need
some mechanism to allow the correct log item order to be recreated
before we write log items to the hournal.
Hence we need to have a mechanism for recording global order of
transactions in the log items so that we can recover that order
from un-ordered per-cpu lists.
Do this with a simple monotonic increasing commit counter in the CIL
context. Each log item in the transaction gets stamped with the
current commit order ID before it is added to the CIL. If the item
is already in the CIL, leave it where it is instead of moving it to
the tail of the list and instead sort the list before we start the
push work.

Now that we have the CIL percpu structures in place, implement the
space used counter as a per-cpu counter.
We have to be really careful now about ensuring that the checks and
updates run without arbitrary delays, which means they need to run
with pre-emption disabled. We do this by careful placement of
the get_cpu_ptr/put_cpu_ptr calls to access the per-cpu structures
for that CPU.
We need to be able to reliably detect that the CIL has reached
the hard limit threshold so we can take extra reservations for the
iclog headers when the space used overruns the original reservation.
hence we factor out xlog_cil_over_hard_limit() from
xlog_cil_push_background().
The global CIL space used is an atomic variable that is backed by
per-cpu aggregation to minimise the number of atomic updates we do
to the global state in the fast path. While we are under the soft
limit, we aggregate only when the per-cpu aggregation is over the
proportion of the soft limit assigned to that CPU. This means that
all CPUs can use all but one byte of their aggregation threshold
and we will not go over the soft limit.
Hence once we detect that we've gone over both a per-cpu aggregation
threshold and the soft limit, we know that we have only
exceeded the soft limit by one per-cpu aggregation threshold. Even
if all CPUs hit this at the same time, we can't be over the hard
limit, so we can run an aggregation back into the atomic counter
at this point and still be under the hard limit.
At this point, we will be over the soft limit and hence we'll
aggregate into the global atomic used space directly rather than the
per-cpu counters, hence providing accurate detection of hard limit
excursion for accounting and reservation purposes.
Hence we get the best of both worlds - lockless, scalable per-cpu
fast path plus accurate, atomic detection of hard limit excursion.

The CIL push lock is highly contended on larger machines, becoming a
hard bottleneck that about 700,000 transaction commits/s on >16p
machines. To address this, start moving the CIL tracking
infrastructure to utilise per-CPU structures.
We need to track the space used, the amount of log reservation space
reserved to write the CIL, the log items in the CIL and the busy
extents that need to be completed by the CIL commit. This requires
a couple of per-cpu counters, an unordered per-cpu list and a
globally ordered per-cpu list.
Create a per-cpu structure to hold these and all the management
interfaces needed, as well as the hooks to handle hotplug CPUs.

For every iclog that a CIL push will use up, we need to ensure we
have space reserved for the iclog header in each iclog. It is
extremely difficult to do this accurately with a per-cpu counter
without expensive summing of the counter in every commit. However,
we know what the maximum CIL size is going to be because of the
hard space limit we have, and hence we know exactly how many iclogs
we are going to need to write out the CIL.
We are constrained by the requirement that small transactions only
have reservation space for a single iclog header built into them.
At commit time we don't know how much of the current transaction
reservation is made up of iclog header reservations as calculated by
xfs_log_calc_unit_res() when the ticket was reserved. As larger
reservations have multiple header spaces reserved, we can steal
more than one iclog header reservation at a time, but we only steal
the exact number needed for the given log vector size delta.
As a result, we don't know exactly when we are going to steal iclog
header reservations, nor do we know exactly how many we are going to
need for a given CIL.
To make things simple, start by calculating the worst case number of
iclog headers a full CIL push will require. Record this into an
atomic variable in the CIL. Then add a byte counter to the log
ticket that records exactly how much iclog header space has been
reserved in this ticket by xfs_log_calc_unit_res(). This tells us
exactly how much space we can steal from the ticket at transaction
commit time.
Now, at transaction commit time, we can check if the CIL has a full
iclog header reservation and, if not, steal the entire reservation
the current ticket holds for iclog headers. This minimises the
number of times we need to do atomic operations in the fast path,
but still guarantees we get all the reservations we need.

In the next patches we are going to make the CIL list itself
per-cpu, and so we cannot use list_empty() to check is the list is
empty. Replace the list_empty() checks with a flag in the CIL to
indicate we have committed at least one transaction to the CIL and
hence the CIL is not empty.
We need this flag to be an atomic so that we can clear it without
holding any locks in the commit fast path, but we also need to be
careful to avoid atomic operations in the fast path. Hence we use
the fact that test_bit() is not an atomic op to first check if the
flag is set and then run the atomic test_and_clear_bit() operation
to clear it and steal the initial unit reservation for the CIL
context checkpoint.
When we are switching to a new context in a push, we place the
setting of the XLOG_CIL_EMPTY flag under the xc_push_lock. THis
allows all the other places that need to check whether the CIL is
empty to use test_bit() and still be serialised correctly with the
CIL context swaps that set the bit.

Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"This is a big update with lots of new code. The summary below them
all, so I'll just touch on teh higlights. The two main new features
are Large Extent Counts and Logged Attribute Replay - these are two
new foundational features that we are building more complex future
features on top of.
For upcoming functionality, we need to be able to store hundreds of
millions of xattrs per inode. The Large Extent Count feature removes
the limits that prevent this scale of xattr storage, and while we were
modifying the on disk extent count format we also increased the number
of data extents we support per inode from 2^32 to 2^47.
We also need to be able to modify xattrs as part of larger atomic
transactions rather than as standalone transactions. The Logged
Attribute Replay feature introduces the infrastructure that allows us
to use intents to record the attribute modifications in the journal
before we start them, hence allowing other atomic transactions to log
attribute modification intents and then defer the actual modification
to later. If we then crash, log recovery then guarantees that the
attribute is replayed in the context of the atomic transaction that
logged the intent.
A significant chunk of the commits in this merge are for the base
attribute replay functionality along with fixes, improvements and
cleanups related to this new functioanlity. Allison deserves a big
round of thanks for her ongoing work to get this functionality into
XFS.
There are also many other smaller changes and improvements, so overall
this is one of the bigger XFS merge requests in some time.

When we log modifications based on intents, we add both intent
and intent done items to the modification being made. These get
written to the log to ensure that the operation is re-run if the
intent done is not found in the log.
However, for operations that complete wholly within a single
checkpoint, the change in the checkpoint is atomic and will never
need replay. In this case, we don't need to actually write the
intent and intent done items to the journal because log recovery
will never need to manually restart this modification.
Log recovery currently handles intent/intent done matching by
inserting the intent into the AIL, then removing it when a matching
intent done item is found. Hence for all the intent-based operations
that complete within a checkpoint, we spend all that time parsing
the intent/intent done items just to cancel them and do nothing with
them.
Hence it follows that the only time we actually need intents in the
log is when the modification crosses checkpoint boundaries in the
log and so may only be partially complete in the journal. Hence if
we commit and intent done item to the CIL and the intent item is in
the same checkpoint, we don't actually have to write them to the
journal because log recovery will always cancel the intents.
We've never really worried about the overhead of logging intents
unnecessarily like this because the intents we log are generally
very much smaller than the change being made. e.g. freeing an extent
involves modifying at lease two freespace btree blocks and the AGF,
so the EFI/EFD overhead is only a small increase in space and
processing time compared to the overall cost of freeing an extent.
However, delayed attributes change this cost equation dramatically,
especially for inline attributes. In the case of adding an inline
attribute, we only log the inode core and attribute fork at present.
With delayed attributes, we now log the attr intent which includes
the name and value, the inode core adn attr fork, and finally the
attr intent done item. We increase the number of items we log from 1
to 3, and the number of log vectors (regions) goes up from 3 to 7.
Hence we tripple the number of objects that the CIL has to process,
and more than double the number of log vectors that need to be
written to the journal.
At scale, this means delayed attributes cause a non-pipelined CIL to
become CPU bound processing all the extra items, resulting in a > 40%
performance degradation on 16-way file+xattr create worklaods.
Pipelining the CIL (as per 5.15) reduces the performance degradation
to 20%, but now the limitation is the rate at which the log items
can be written to the iclogs and iclogs be dispatched for IO and
completed.
Even log IO completion is slowed down by these intents, because it
now has to process 3x the number of items in the checkpoint.
Processing completed intents is especially inefficient here, because
we first insert the intent into the AIL, then remove it from the AIL
when the intent done is processed. IOWs, we are also doing expensive
operations in log IO completion we could completely avoid if we
didn't log completed intent/intent done pairs.
Enter log item whiteouts.
When an intent done is committed, we can check to see if the
associated intent is in the same checkpoint as we are currently
committing the intent done to. If so, we can mark the intent log
item with a whiteout and immediately free the intent done item
rather than committing it to the CIL. We can basically skip the
entire formatting and CIL insertion steps for the intent done item.
However, we cannot remove the intent item from the CIL at this point
because the unlocked per-cpu CIL item lists do not permit removal
without holding the CIL context lock exclusively. Transaction commit
only holds the context lock shared, hence the best we can do is mark
the intent item with a whiteout so that the CIL push can release it
rather than writing it to the log.
This means we never write the intent to the log if the intent done
has also been committed to the same checkpoint, but we'll always
write the intent if the intent done has not been committed or has
been committed to a different checkpoint. This will result in
correct log recovery behaviour in all cases, without the overhead of
logging unnecessary intents.
This intent whiteout concept is generic - we can apply it to all
intent/intent done pairs that have a direct 1:1 relationship. The
way deferred ops iterate and relog intents mean that all intents
currently have a 1:1 relationship with their done intent, and hence
we can apply this cancellation to all existing intent/intent done
implementations.
For delayed attributes with a 16-way 64kB xattr create workload,
whiteouts reduce the amount of journalled metadata from ~2.5GB/s
down to ~600MB/s and improve the creation rate from 9000/s to
14000/s.

The caller of xlog_write() usually has a close accounting of the
aggregated vector length contained in the log vector chain passed to
xlog_write(). There is no need to iterate the chain to calculate he
length of the data in xlog_write_calculate_len() if the caller is
already iterating that chain to build it.
Passing in the vector length avoids doing an extra chain iteration,
which can be a significant amount of work given that large CIL

Current xlog_write() adds op headers to the log manually for every
log item region that is in the vector passed to it. While
xlog_write() needs to stamp the transaction ID into the ophdr, we
already know it's length, flags, clientid, etc at CIL commit time.
This means the only time that xlog write really needs to format and
reserve space for a new ophdr is when a region is split across two
iclogs. Adding the opheader and accounting for it as part of the
normal formatted item region means we simplify the accounting
of space used by a transaction and we don't have to special case
reserving of space in for the ophdrs in xlog_write(). It also means
we can largely initialise the ophdr in transaction commit instead
of xlog_write, making the xlog_write formatting inner loop much
tighter.
xlog_prepare_iovec() is now too large to stay as an inline function,
so we move it out of line and into xfs_log.c.
Object sizes:
text data bss dec hex filename
1125934 305951 484 1432369 15db31 fs/xfs/built-in.a.before
1123360 305951 484 1429795 15d123 fs/xfs/built-in.a.after

out of line, even though it grew in size itself.

We currently set the log ticket client ID when we reserve a
transaction. This client ID is only ever written to the log by
a CIL checkpoint or unmount records, and so anything using a high
level transaction allocated through xfs_trans_alloc() does not need
a log ticket client ID to be set.
For the CIL checkpoint, the client ID written to the journal is
always XFS_TRANSACTION, and for the unmount record it is always
XFS_LOG, and nothing else writes to the log. All of these operations
tell xlog_write() exactly what they need to write to the log (the
optype) and build their own opheaders for start, commit and unmount
records. Hence we no longer need to set the client id in either the
log ticket or the xfs_trans.

So move the one-off start record writing in xlog_write() out into
the static header that the CIL push builds to write into the log
initially. This simplifes the xlog_write() logic a lot.
pahole on x86-64 confirms that the xlog_cil_trans_hdr is correctly
32 bit aligned and packed for copying the log op and transaction
headers directly into the log as a single log region copy.
struct xlog_cil_trans_hdr {
struct xlog_op_header oph[2]; /* 0 24 */
struct xfs_trans_header thdr; /* 24 16 */
struct xfs_log_iovec lhdr[2]; /* 40 32 */
/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
A wart is needed to handle the fact that length of the region the
opheader points to doesn't include the opheader length. hence if
we embed the opheader, we have to substract the opheader length from
the length written into the opheader by the generic copying code.
This will eventually go away when everything is converted to
embedded opheaders.

Jan Kara reported a performance regression in dbench that he
bisected down to commit bad77c375e ("xfs: CIL checkpoint

Whilst developing the journal flush/fua optimisations this cache was
part of, it appeared to made a significant difference to
performance. However, now that this patchset has settled and all the
correctness issues fixed, there does not appear to be any
significant performance benefit to asynchronous cache flushes.
In fact, the opposite is true on some storage types and workloads,
where additional cache flushes that can occur from fsync heavy
workloads have measurable and significant impact on overall
throughput.
Local dbench testing shows little difference on dbench runs with
sync vs async cache flushes on either fast or slow SSD storage, and
no difference in streaming concurrent async transaction workloads
like fs-mark.

We've got a mess on our hands.
1. xfs_trans_commit() cannot cancel transactions because the mount is
shut down - that causes dirty, aborted, unlogged log items to sit
unpinned in memory and potentially get written to disk before the
log is shut down. Hence xfs_trans_commit() can only abort
transactions when xlog_is_shutdown() is true.
2. xfs_force_shutdown() is used in places to cause the current
modification to be aborted via xfs_trans_commit() because it may be
impractical or impossible to cancel the transaction directly, and
hence xfs_trans_commit() must cancel transactions when
xfs_is_shutdown() is true in this situation. But we can't do that
because of #1.
3. Log IO errors cause log shutdowns by calling xfs_force_shutdown()
to shut down the mount and then the log from log IO completion.
4. xfs_force_shutdown() can result in a log force being issued,
which has to wait for log IO completion before it will mark the log
as shut down. If #3 races with some other shutdown trigger that runs
a log force, we rely on xfs_force_shutdown() silently ignoring #3
and avoiding shutting down the log until the failed log force
completes.
5. To ensure #2 always works, we have to ensure that
xfs_force_shutdown() does not return until the the log is shut down.
But in the case of #4, this will result in a deadlock because the
log Io completion will block waiting for a log force to complete
which is blocked waiting for log IO to complete....
So the very first thing we have to do here to untangle this mess is
dissociate log shutdown triggers from mount shutdowns. We already
have xlog_forced_shutdown, which will atomically transistion to the
log a shutdown state. Due to internal asserts it cannot be called
multiple times, but was done simply because the only place that
could call it was xfs_do_force_shutdown() (i.e. the mount shutdown!)
and that could only call it once and once only. So the first thing
we do is remove the asserts.
We then convert all the internal log shutdown triggers to call
xlog_force_shutdown() directly instead of xfs_force_shutdown(). This
allows the log shutdown triggers to shut down the log without
needing to care about mount based shutdown constraints. This means
we shut down the log independently of the mount and the mount may
not notice this until it's next attempt to read or modify metadata.
At that point (e.g. xfs_trans_commit()) it will see that the log is
shutdown, error out and shutdown the mount.
To ensure that all the unmount behaviours and asserts track
correctly as a result of a log shutdown, propagate the shutdown up
to the mount if it is not already set. This keeps the mount and log
state in sync, and saves a huge amount of hassle where code fails
because of a log shutdown but only checks for mount shutdowns and
hence ends up doing the wrong thing. Cleaning up that mess is
an exercise for another day.
This enables us to address the other problems noted above in
followup patches.

When the AIL tries to flush the CIL, it relies on the CIL push
ending up on stable storage without having to wait for and
manipulate iclog state directly. However, if there is already a
pending CIL push when the AIL tries to flush the CIL, it won't set
the cil->xc_push_commit_stable flag and so the CIL push will not
actively flush the commit record iclog.
generic/530 when run on a single CPU test VM can trigger this fairly
reliably. This test exercises unlinked inode recovery, and can
result in inodes being pinned in memory by ongoing modifications to
the inode cluster buffer to record unlinked list modifications. As a
result, the first inode unlinked in a buffer can pin the tail of the
log whilst the inode cluster buffer is pinned by the current
checkpoint that has been pushed but isn't on stable storage because
because the cil->xc_push_commit_stable was not set. This results in
the log/AIL effectively deadlocking until something triggers the
commit record iclog to be pushed to stable storage (i.e. the
periodic log worker calling xfs_log_force()).
The fix is two-fold - first we should always set the
cil->xc_push_commit_stable when xlog_cil_flush() is called,
regardless of whether there is already a pending push or not.
Second, if the CIL is empty, we should trigger an iclog flush to
ensure that the iclogs of the last checkpoint have actually been
submitted to disk as that checkpoint may not have been run under
stable completion constraints.

On this workload, that's almost a dozen CPUs all trying to compact
and reclaim memory inside kvmalloc_node at the same time. Yet it is
regularly falling back to vmalloc despite all that compaction, page
and shrinker reclaim that direct reclaim is doing. Copying all the
metadata is taking far less CPU time than allocating the storage!
Direct reclaim should be considered extremely harmful.
This is a high frequency, high throughput, CPU usage and latency
sensitive allocation. We've got memory there, and we're using
kvmalloc to allow memory allocation to avoid doing lots of work to
try to do contiguous allocations.
Except it still does *lots of costly work* that is unnecessary.
Worse: the only way to avoid the slowpath page allocation trying to
do compaction on costly allocations is to turn off direct reclaim
(i.e. remove __GFP_RECLAIM_DIRECT from the gfp flags).
Unfortunately, the stupid kvmalloc API then says "oh, this isn't a
GFP_KERNEL allocation context, so you only get kmalloc!". This
cuts off the vmalloc fallback, and this leads to almost instant OOM
problems which ends up in filesystems deadlocks, shutdowns and/or
kernel crashes.
I want some basic kvmalloc behaviour:
- kmalloc for a contiguous range with fail fast semantics - no
compaction direct reclaim if the allocation enters the slow path.
- run normal vmalloc (i.e. GFP_KERNEL) if kmalloc fails
The really, really stupid part about this is these kvmalloc() calls
are run under memalloc_nofs task context, so all the allocations are
always reduced to GFP_NOFS regardless of the fact that kvmalloc
requires GFP_KERNEL to be passed in. IOWs, we're already telling
kvmalloc to behave differently to the gfp flags we pass in, but it
still won't allow vmalloc to be run with anything other than
GFP_KERNEL.
So, this patch open codes the kvmalloc() in the commit path to have
the above described behaviour. The result is we more than halve the
CPU time spend doing kvmalloc() in this path and transaction commits
with 64kB objects in them more than doubles. i.e. we get ~5x
reduction in CPU usage per costly-sized kvmalloc() invocation and

It's worth noting that over 50% of the CPU time spent allocating
these shadow buffers is now spent on spinlocks. So the shadow buffer
allocation overhead is greatly reduced by getting rid of direct
reclaim from kmalloc, and could probably be made even less costly if
vmalloc() didn't use global spinlocks to protect it's structures.

While I was running with KASAN and lockdep enabled, I stumbled upon an
KASAN report about a UAF to a freed CIL checkpoint. Looking at the
comment for xfs_log_item_in_current_chkpt, it seems pretty obvious to me
that the original patch to xfs_defer_finish_noroll should have done
something to lock the CIL to prevent it from switching the CIL contexts
while the predicate runs.
For upper level code that needs to know if a given log item is new
enough not to need relogging, add a new wrapper that takes the CIL
context lock long enough to sample the current CIL context. This is
kind of racy in that the CIL can switch the contexts immediately after
sampling, but that's ok because the consequence is that the defer ops
code is a little slow to relog items.

Because we use a single work structure attached to the CIL rather
than the CIL context, we can only queue a single work item at a
time. This results in the CIL being single threaded and limits
performance when it becomes CPU bound.
The design of the CIL is that it is pipelined and multiple commits
can be running concurrently, but the way the work is currently
implemented means that it is not pipelining as it was intended. The
critical work to switch the CIL context can take a few milliseconds
to run, but the rest of the CIL context flush can take hundreds of
milliseconds to complete. The context switching is the serialisation
point of the CIL, once the context has been switched the rest of the
context push can run asynchrnously with all other context pushes.
Hence we can move the work to the CIL context so that we can run
multiple CIL pushes at the same time and spread the majority of
the work out over multiple CPUs. We can keep the per-cpu CIL commit
state on the CIL rather than the context, because the context is
pinned to the CIL until the switch is done and we aggregate and
drain the per-cpu state held on the CIL during the context switch.
However, because we no longer serialise the CIL work, we can have
effectively unlimited CIL pushes in progress. We don't want to do
this - not only does it create contention on the iclogs and the
state machine locks, we can run the log right out of space with
outstanding pushes. Instead, limit the work concurrency to 4
concurrent works being processed at a time. This is enough
concurrency to remove the CIL from being a CPU bound bottleneck but
not enough to create new contention points or unbound concurrency
issues.

The AIL pushing is stalling on log forces when it comes across
pinned items. This is happening on removal workloads where the AIL
is dominated by stale items that are removed from AIL when the
checkpoint that marks the items stale is committed to the journal.
This results is relatively few items in the AIL, but those that are
are often pinned as directories items are being removed from are
still being logged.
As a result, many push cycles through the CIL will first issue a
blocking log force to unpin the items. This can take some time to
complete, with tracing regularly showing push delays of half a
second and sometimes up into the range of several seconds. Sequences
like this aren't uncommon:

In each of these cases, every AIL pass saw 101 log items stuck on
the AIL (pinned) with very few other items being found. Each pass, a
log force was issued, and delay between last/first is the sleep time
+ the sync log force time.
Some of these 101 items pinned the tail of the log. The tail of the
log does slowly creep forward (first lsn), but the problem is that
the log is actually out of reservation space because it's been
running so many transactions that stale items that never reach the
AIL but consume log space. Hence we have a largely empty AIL, with
long term pins on items that pin the tail of the log that don't get
pushed frequently enough to keep log space available.
The problem is the hundreds of milliseconds that we block in the log
force pushing the CIL out to disk. The AIL should not be stalled
like this - it needs to run and flush items that are at the tail of
the log with minimal latency. What we really need to do is trigger a
log flush, but then not wait for it at all - we've already done our
waiting for stuff to complete when we backed off prior to the log
force being issued.
Even if we remove the XFS_LOG_SYNC from the xfs_log_force() call, we
still do a blocking flush of the CIL and that is what is causing the
issue. Hence we need a new interface for the CIL to trigger an
immediate background push of the CIL to get it moving faster but not
to wait on that to occur. While the CIL is pushing, the AIL can also
be pushing.
We already have an internal interface to do this -
xlog_cil_push_now() - but we need a wrapper for it to be used
externally. xlog_cil_force_seq() can easily be extended to do what
we need as it already implements the synchronous CIL push via
xlog_cil_push_now(). Add the necessary flags and "push current
sequence" semantics to xlog_cil_force_seq() and convert the AIL
pushing to use it.
One of the complexities here is that the CIL push does not guarantee
that the commit record for the CIL checkpoint is written to disk.
The current log force ensures this by submitting the current ACTIVE
iclog that the commit record was written to. We need the CIL to
actually write this commit record to disk for an async push to
ensure that the checkpoint actually makes it to disk and unpins the
pinned items in the checkpoint on completion. Hence we need to pass
down to the CIL push that we are doing an async flush so that it can
switch out the commit_iclog if necessary to get written to disk when
the commit iclog is finally released.

Because log recovery depends on strictly ordered start records as
well as strictly ordered commit records.
This is a zero day bug in the way XFS writes pipelined transactions
to the journal which is exposed by fixing the zero day bug that
prevents the CIL from pipelining checkpoints. This re-introduces
explicit concurrent commits back into the on-disk journal and hence
out of order start records.
The XFS journal commit code has never ordered start records and we
have relied on strict commit record ordering for correct recovery
ordering of concurrently written transactions. Unfortunately, root
cause analysis uncovered the fact that log recovery uses the LSN of
the start record for transaction commit processing. Hence, whilst
the commits are processed in strict order by recovery, the LSNs
associated with the commits can be out of order and so recovery may
stamp incorrect LSNs into objects and/or misorder intents in the AIL
for later processing. This can result in log recovery failures
and/or on disk corruption, sometimes silent.
Because this is a long standing log recovery issue, we can't just
fix log recovery and call it good. This still leaves older kernels
susceptible to recovery failures and corruption when replaying a log
from a kernel that pipelines checkpoints. There is also the issue
that in-memory ordering for AIL pushing and data integrity
operations are based on checkpoint start LSNs, and if the start LSN
is incorrect in the journal, it is also incorrect in memory.
Hence there's really only one choice for fixing this zero-day bug:
we need to strictly order checkpoint start records in ascending
sequence order in the log, the same way we already strictly order
commit records.

Now that we have a mechanism to guarantee that the callbacks
attached to an iclog are owned by the context that attaches them
until they drop their reference to the iclog via
xlog_state_release_iclog(), we can attach callbacks to the iclog at
any time we have an active reference to the iclog.
xlog_state_get_iclog_space() always guarantees that the commit
record will fit in the iclog it returns, so we can move this IO
callback setting to xlog_cil_set_ctx_write_state(), record the
commit iclog in the context and remove the need for the commit iclog
to be returned by xlog_write() altogether.
This, in turn, allows us to move the wakeup for ordered commit
record writes up into xlog_cil_set_ctx_write_state(), too, because
we have been guaranteed that this commit record will be physically
located in the iclog before any waiting commit record at a higher
sequence number will be granted iclog space.
This further cleans up the post commit record write processing in
the CIL push code, especially as xlog_state_release_iclog() will now
clean up the context when shutdown errors occur.

When the log is shutdown, it currently walks all the iclogs and runs
callbacks that are attached to the iclogs, regardless of whether the
iclog is queued for IO completion or not. This creates a problem for
contexts attaching callbacks to iclogs in that a racing shutdown can
run the callbacks even before the attaching context has finished
processing the iclog and releasing it for IO submission.
If the callback processing of the iclog frees the structure that is
attached to the iclog, then this leads to an UAF scenario that can
only be protected against by holding the icloglock from the point
callbacks are attached through to the release of the iclog. While we
currently do this, it is not practical or sustainable.
Hence we need to make shutdown processing the responsibility of the
context that holds active references to the iclog. We know that the
contexts attaching callbacks to the iclog must have active
references to the iclog, and that means they must be in either
ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC states. xlog_state_do_callback() will skip over
iclogs in these states -except- when the log is shut down.
xlog_state_do_callback() checks the state of the iclogs while
holding the icloglock, therefore the reference count/state change
that occurs in xlog_state_release_iclog() after the callbacks are
atomic w.r.t. shutdown processing.
We can't push the responsibility of callback cleanup onto the CIL
context because we can have ACTIVE iclogs that have callbacks
attached that have already been released. Hence we really need to
internalise the cleanup of callbacks into xlog_state_release_iclog()
processing.
Indeed, we already have that internalisation via:
xlog_state_release_iclog
drop last reference
->SYNCING
xlog_sync
xlog_write_iclog
if (log_is_shutdown)
xlog_state_done_syncing()
xlog_state_do_callback()
<process shutdown on iclog that is now in SYNCING state>
The problem is that xlog_state_release_iclog() aborts before doing
anything if the log is already shut down. It assumes that the
callbacks have already been cleaned up, and it doesn't need to do
any cleanup.
Hence the fix is to remove the xlog_is_shutdown() check from
xlog_state_release_iclog() so that reference counts are correctly
released from the iclogs, and when the reference count is zero we
always transition to SYNCING if the log is shut down. Hence we'll
always enter the xlog_sync() path in a shutdown and eventually end
up erroring out the iclog IO and running xlog_state_do_callback() to
process the callbacks attached to the iclog.
This allows us to stop processing referenced ACTIVE/WANT_SYNC iclogs
directly in the shutdown code, and in doing so gets rid of the UAF
vector that currently exists. This then decouples the adding of
callbacks to the iclogs from xlog_state_release_iclog() as we
guarantee that xlog_state_release_iclog() will process the callbacks
if the log has been shut down before xlog_state_release_iclog() has
been called.
